The presidential Élysée Palace announced the illness on Dec. 17 without clarifying Mr. Macron’s symptoms or the gravity④of his condition. As one of Europe’s youngest leaders, at 42, the president is not among the most vulnerable⑤ to the virus.

The result was communicated to us.” The Spanish government announced that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who had lunch with Mr. Macron last Monday, has suspended his official activities until Dec. 24.

法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性，将在本周自我隔离，继续工作。马克龙确诊，促使曾与其会面的其他欧洲领导人不得不采取预防措施，并使得欧洲努力克服第二波疫情的局势变得更加复杂。法国总统府爱丽舍宫12月17日宣布了这一情况，但没有明确提及马克龙的症状或病情是否严重。作为欧洲最年轻的领导人之一，42岁的总统并不属于易感者。政府发言人加布里埃尔·阿塔尔说：“总统开始感到类似于新冠肺炎的症状后，立即将自己隔离，并进行了核酸检测，之后就向我们通报了结果。”西班牙政府宣布，14日与马克龙先生共进午餐的首相佩德罗·桑切斯已暂停12月24日前所有官方活动。15日与马克龙先生共进午餐的葡萄牙总理安东尼奥·科斯塔表示，他也将自我隔离并接受新冠检测。
